SEEKING:
Deceived
Setting: London 1901
Bella — A young married woman, mid 20's, with possibly a nervous disposition. Bella loves and trusts her husband, and only begins to doubt his sincerity when circumstances force her to do so. Eventually, she must accept a new reality and find a strength - and cunning - she didn't know she had.
Jack - Her husband, mid 30's - early 40's, debonair and charming. Jack is the most loving, sympathetic and supportive partner he could possibly be, or so it seems for most of the play.
Elizabeth - The housekeeper, 50's - 60's, hard of hearing. A lifetime "in service" has taught her to remain as dutiful and discreet as possible, and to keep her opinions to herself except in extreme circumstances.
Nancy - The young housemaid, 20's, her eye on the main chance. Smart and perceptive, she thinks she sees an opportunity to outsmart everyone.
Bella and Jack engage in a physical altercation.
Fight choreographer will be provided by the Producer.
Almost, Maine
Setting: Northern Maine town in winter, present.

Man 1 and Woman 1 - Early 20's - 30
